    Porsche Taycan Reaches 100,000 Production Milestone

    The Porsche Taycan first made its public appearance as the Mission E Concept back in September 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show and the final production model rolled out exactly four years later in September 2019. And in just about three years, the company has rolled out 1,00,000 units of the Taycan. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S finished in Neptune Blue is the milestone car which was assembled on November 7 and is heading to a customer from the UK

    According to Porsche, the US, China, and the UK / Republic of Ireland are the Taycan’s most popular markets. That said, deliveries have slowed down this year due to supply chain bottlenecks, with 25,073 EVs shipped to customers in the first nine months of the year, or 12 percent less than in the same period of 2021. But the delays haven’t slowed down demand for the electric car as the order book continues to show good figures.

    Moreover, one of the owners, a Transport entrepreneur Jean-Hubert Revolon has already clocked 1,88,119 km on the ODO of his Taycan. He bought a Taycan 4S in mid-August 2020 and lives in France in the Lyon area. Revolon often drives to neighboring countries, covering as much as 1,200 km in a single day which is rather impressive.

    In fact, the company’s Head of Body Planning, Markus Kreutel did 134,911 km in a Taycan Turbo company car between February 2021 and August 2022. Distances as long as 1,500 km were swiftly covered by the performance EV during his business trips that frequently involved traveling from Zuffenhausen to Slovakia or the Ore Mountains.

The company has been able to achieve this feat even after the disruption caused due to the coronavirus pandemic. The company had shut down all production activities for 6 weeks and this, when the company was ramping up production as many markets globally, were planning premieres in the coming months.

    It needs to be noted here that Porsche sold a total of 4480 Taycans from January to June 2020, and 6464 units were sold in the next 3 months. Therefore in the first 9 months of 2020, the company had sold more than 10,000 units of the car and the next 10,000 took just about 3 months, showing how strong the demand is for the all-electric sedan.

    Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing at Porsche AG said, “The coronavirus crisis posed a great challenge from spring 2020 onwards. Nevertheless, we were able to keep deliveries comparatively stable for the year as a whole. Our fresh, attractive product range, the successful start of the Taycan as the first all-electric Porsche and the charisma of our brand – all this contributed to this positive result despite the difficult times.”

    The Porsche Taycan is scheduled to hit the Indian shores as well very soon. We know that it’s good because we’ve driven the car and told you all about it.

  • Porsche Could Make More Than 20,000 Taycan EVs In 2020

    Porsche Could Make More Than 20,000 Taycan EVs In 2020

    Porsche has announced that it is on target to produce more than 20,000 Taycan electric cars in 2020. This is quite an achievement for the German automotive giant considering the pandemic has ravaged the demand for vehicles and also the fact that the Taycan is the first full-electric car produced by Porsche.

    The pandemic hasn’t been able to slow down the sales of the Porsche Taycan. “Despite the closure of dealerships and factories during the first corona wave, we will exceed our original target of 20,000 vehicles sold this year,” said Oliver Blume, Porsche’s CEO in an interview with auto motor und sport.

    This news comes a day after the company announced that the Taycan had broken the world record for drifting. It drifted 42 kilometres in 55 minutes in Germany using the RWD version of the Taycan that’s only sold in China.

    The interesting bit is that the sales figures that Porsche is claiming indicate a revival of the automotive market. Till the first half of the year, Porsche had only sold 4,500 Taycans. Porsche then claimed that number had doubled by the end of October, which means in just two months the German automotive manufacturer is looking to double that figure too,  which is staggering.

    The Taycan has been such a success that it has become Porsche’s best-selling car in Europe taking over the Panamera. Porsche at some point will look to deploy a 40,000 Taycan production capacity which will make it its best-selling car this year.

Porsche sold a total of 4480 Taycans from January to June 2020, which goes to show that the remaining 6464 units were sold in just three months.

    While the sales of the Taycan could have taken off in the first half of the 2020, the coronavirus pandemic saw a markets and production come to a halt. With the opening up of several markets post lockdown, the pent-up demand for the Taycan seems to have kicked in and that’s why we see more cars being sold in the last 3 months.

    Porsche to hike Taycan output

    Porsche AG will increase production of the Taycan after more than 20,000 potential buyers registered to purchase the brand’s first electric car, matching the entire annual output initially earmarked for the four-door sedan.

    “The overwhelming interest in the Taycan shows us that our customers and fans are just as excited about the first Porsche electric athlete as we are,” Porsche sales chief Detlev von Platen said Friday in a statement. “We’ve therefore increased our production capacities.”

    The Taycan will be unveiled in September with a price range between the 74,800-euro ($83,866) Cayenne SUV and the 97,800-euro Panamera coupe to compete with Tesla Inc.’s Model S. The car is part of a wave of new models from Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz and Audi that’ll challenge Tesla’s electric-car leadership.

    Porsche is parent Volkswagen AG’s most profitable brand and its success is vital for the group to pull off the industry’s most aggressive push into electric vehicles. VW has allocated some 40 billion euros for electric and connected cars and targets 50 battery-powered models by 2025. To help drive uptake, Porsche is installing fast chargers at its dealerships in the U.S. and Europe that’ll get the Taycan’s battery up to 100 kilometers (62 miles) in four minutes. The car’s overall range on a single charge stands at 500 kilometers.

    The model’s planned production of 20,000 vehicles per year is based on a two-shift system at Porsche’s main site in Stuttgart, Germany, and can be expanded if needed, production chief Albrecht Reimold told reporters last year. Porsche also confirmed recently it will offer a fully-electric version of its best-selling Macan SUV.

    Interested Taycan buyers are required to make a down payment of 2,500 euros in Europe to register.

  • Porsche to price Taycan electric sports car between Cayenne, Panamera

    Porsche to price Taycan electric sports car between Cayenne, Panamera

    Porsche will position the Taycan below the brand’s Panamera sedan when the electric four-door sports car reaches markets next year, with a likely starting price above 80,000 euros (about $92,500).

    “We’re expecting a price somewhere between a Cayenne and a Panamera,” said Robert Meier, the complete vehicle model line director for the Taycan.

    Including taxes, that would place the vehicle between 74,828 euros and 90,655 euros for its base version of the car in Germany.

    However, Porsche Chief Financial Officer Lutz Meschke told reporters that he wants to offer higher-performance versions that could be priced as much as 200,000 euros, such as a Taycan Turbo S.

    The Taycan’s two permanently excited synchronous electric motors, supplied by Italy’s Magneti Marelli, will produce more than 600 hp and accelerate the vehicle from 0 to 100 kph (62 mph) in less than 3.5 seconds. The Taycan aims to be the fastest series production electric car around Germany’s Nordschleife racetrack, with a lap time of less than 8 minutes.

    “Asynchronous e-motors are clearly more affordable, but they have one very important disadvantage: You can only overload the motor once when you want high dynamic acceleration before it quickly reaches its limits the second or third time,” Meier said. “That’s fine for most electric cars but not for a high-performance Porsche.”

    The 800-volt lithium-ion battery, built by Draexlmaier Group outside Stuttgart, is composed of “pouch” cells sourced from LG Chem of Korea in a specific power-to-energy ratio that balances the needs of range with those of performance.

    Together, the roughly 400 battery cells have a gravimetric energy density equivalent to 270 watt-hours per kilogram, roughly comparable to the latest technology on the market today.

    The Taycan will be able to drive more than 500 km (310 miles) miles on a single charge under the New European Driving Cycle. Once drained, the battery needs only about 4 minutes to add a further 100 km in range when using a 350-kW fast-charging station. By comparison, Porsche estimates a Tesla requires two and a half times that duration. Porsche expects it will build 20,000 units of the Taycan a year on two shifts, but production boss Albrecht Reimold said a third shift could be added if more capacity is needed.
